Description: The signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2, 1964 marked the culmination of a decades long campaign to end racial inequality in the United States. Viewed as the most significant and far-reaching legislation ever passed through Congress, the bill banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Remembering the Act: Archival Reflections on Civil Rights celebrates the 50th anniversary of the law by recounting the political, historical, and cultural aspects of the struggle for civil rights through the lens of The Ohio State University Libraries Special Collections. A companion exhibit of the same title was in the Thompson Library Gallery from September 15, 2014 - January 4, 2015.

Description: On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American astronaut to orbit Earth. During a mission lasting just under five hours, his Friendship 7 spacecraft orbited three times and splashed down without incident near the Bahama Islands. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of John Glenn's achievement the Ohio State University Libraries hosted an exhibit about the historic spaceflight using manuscripts, photographs and artifacts from the John Glenn Archives. Displayed in the Thompson Library, the exhibit ran from February 1 to April 30, 2012. This online exhibit uses the same materials from the John Glenn Archives to replicate as closely as possible the original cases in the physical exhibit. This exhibit was migrated to a new platform in 2017.
